Imagine one product could single-handedly slam the brakes on age-related skin changes. Would you use it? To clarify, that would include lines, pigmentation, rough texture, collagen degradation and loss of firmness. Let's say said product was a simple cream, you'd slap it on with your hands, and it would shield you from what the WHO states may cause "up to 90% of the visible changes commonly attributed to ageing." Yep, that's 90%. Could I tempt you? You know where this is going.

When it comes to the contents of celebrity makeup bags and skincare drawers, the beauty market's priciest picks are often the favourites. So we love nothing more than when we hear about a star-approved product with a purse-friendly price tag. Kate Moss's go-to sunscreen and Sienna Miller's all-rounder makeup brush have been recent additions to our dressing tables - now it's set to be a bargain buy that Joanna Lumley thinks is one of the best face moisturisers out there.

We all have our beauty product blind spots, even those of us whose full-time job is enthusing about them. For me, it's body lotion. It's not that I don't need one - my ashy 'hellbows' could definitely use the help - it's just a straightforward lack of enthusiasm. Show me the most luxuriously formulated, best-smelling body lotion, and I'll show you a new display-only ornament for my bathroom tallboy. Can you relate?

Sienna Miller's fresh-faced and minimal approach to makeup means she's one of my go-tos when it comes to beauty products, especially as we head into summer where that natural, less-is-more style fits so brilliantly alongside the warm weather. So I was all ears when she revealed how she gets that your-skin-but-better look with just two products and a light hand. In a video filmed in back in 2023, she lifted the lid on her beauty bag and gave some much-wanted insight into her routine.

My brilliant first-ever beauty director, Jo GB, taught me so many important lessons about writing, but one that's stuck with me is that "talking about the weather means you have nothing more interesting to say."So every week, I resist kicking off this column by stating the obvious re: sun. But it's getting harder as this pleasingly (albeit slightly worrying on a deeper level) warm and dry spring marches on.

Before I was one, I assumed that all beauty editors were perfectly groomed 24/7. Monthly manicures, a daily face of makeup, trims every six weeks (a recommendation I approach with the same flexibility as our government-mandated wine allowance)With age, wisdom and over a decade in the industry, I've realised there are many ways to be a beauty journalist, and preened glamourpuss is but one. Thank goodness, because, intensive skincare routine aside, I'm actually a fairly low-maintenance person.
